Shadow64 | Potential 40s Timesave in SMG2 @Shadow64 | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 3 minutes ago
With some sort of way to either go out of bounds or clip past the invisible wall, the cutscene with bowser can be completely skipped. This cutscene lasts around 40 seconds and thus skipping it would perhaps make a 2:56 in Any% realistic.

This saves 5.35s on the former world record by ActuallyImJerome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sfMiv9MOu0
The main timesave comes from the Rock Jump Chain to keep the rock mushroom on the 2nd planet and skip the launch star. I can see a sub 40 being possible, but itd be very difficult due to how awkward the rock controls are.

This is the most incredible IL I have ever pulled off. Only 0.3s off the TAS in this star, I managed to pull off whats considered the hardest trick in all of Super Mario Galaxy. This took hours upon hours of attempts and a lot of patience to optimise perfectly.
This IL utilises Infinite Rock Jumps, an extremely difficult piece of tech to master: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-g4Wus2UIHlGdxut3hVbCY75Ioo5bZnzoNDHWt7SSBw/edit?usp=sharing
I equally needed to blindly control my height and speed to avoid death plane and make it to the star platform. The angle needed to be perfect from the very beginning without taking time to set it up. This is my proudest World Record in SMG2, and I cant wait to continue optimising other levels.
